It is a Poinsiana Tree - just magnificent.

Gorgeous colour!

Gorgeous, the Poinsianas are amazing this year. They must have liked all the rain at the start of the year.

The growth pattern is so unique,and it's neat how the flowers are in clusters.

WOW! Are these related to poinsettia flowers we buy in pots for the holidays? I know there used to be a song called Poinsiana and I often wondered.

@jodogz @melissapike @digitalrn @allie912 @sarasdadandmom - they are beautiful trees. They don't usually grow so high, they usually are lower and spread out to almost touch the ground with their branches.
